<p><a href="http://www.hermanmiller.com/lifework/wp-content/uploads/1231010_profile-2.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11706" title="1231010_profile-2" src="http://www.hermanmiller.com/lifework/wp-content/uploads/1231010_profile-2.jpeg" alt="" width="480" height="358" /><br />
</a>Everything is its place and a place for everything.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hermanmiller.com/lifework/wp-content/uploads/desk1_joel_pirela.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11707" title="desk1_joel_pirela" src="http://www.hermanmiller.com/lifework/wp-content/uploads/desk1_joel_pirela.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="358" /><br />
</a>Being creative, my desk is not your typical mess. In fact, some may say is kind of OCD-ish. I can&#8217;t stand clutter or being un-organized. My mind works better when I have lots empty space around me and only have the stuff I need for the project deadly accessible. After I&#8217;m done with the project, or even if the project is not completed but I&#8217;m done for the day, I would put everything away and start from a blank canvas the next morning. That will give me different angle on the process of creation.</p>

</a>In my current set up, I have made some compromises, but If it was up to me, my ideal workspace would be one with plenty of sunlight, empty spaces, almost spartan with glass surrounding me everywhere; that way I could enjoy the outdoors with it&#8217;s incredible views.</p>

</a>Computer with a dual monitor set up with everything wireless (I hate cables) and it would be extra nice if I had a section of my working space that I could use for a very small shop; as I like to tweak, disassemble and create stuff all the time.</p>

</a> A great wireless sound system where music play non stop and even a TV playing in the background on mute. I love to work around white noise and visuals. I can&#8217;t work when everything is too quiet.</p>
